That night, Zhu Zhizhou not only failed to gain any advantage from Yan Shao, but also attracted wave after wave of Yan Shao's sarcastic remarks.
Yan Shao is usually lazy and doesn't say a word, but if he really dislikes someone, every word he utters can be enough to choke someone to death.
However, even so, in front of Yan Shao, who spoke extremely harshly, Zhu Zhizhou could only act like a subservient grandson, daring to be angry but not daring to speak out.
Su Lang, watching and listening from the side, felt cold sweat pouring down his back.
If he had known that Yan Shao hated Zhu Zhizhou so much, he would never have agreed to Zhu Zhizhou's request, even if it meant his own death.
Fortunately, Yan Shao's words were only directed at Zhu Zhizhou, without any intention of targeting him.
Only after understanding this did Su Lang feel a little relieved.
As for Zhu Zhizhou, he's a seasoned veteran with exceptional mental fortitude and resilience. Besides, the only person he can turn to now is Young Master Yan.
So, he became increasingly numb to the harsh words he heard. Since Young Master Yan was in charge of saying them, he shamelessly poured tea for Young Master Yan and smiled obsequiously.
Anyone who didn't know better would really think that Zhu Zhizhou was Yan Shao's father's killer.
Unaware of the situation, Qin Xiu could only secretly pray that Yan Shao, his future father-in-law, wouldn't cause any trouble in Yan Shao and Zhu Qianying's marriage.
Of course, he also knew that most of his worries were unfounded.
Not to mention L City, throughout the whole country, countless people are begging and groveling to get their daughters into the Yan family. However, it seems that their master has only taken a liking to Zhu Qianying for the time being.
Judging from Zhu Zhizhou's behavior tonight, it's obvious that he's also one of those who's begging and groveling, trying to get his daughter into the Yan family in exchange for wealth and benefits.
After understanding this, Qin Xiu somewhat understood why his master had made things so difficult for Zhu Zhizhou all day long.
Young Master Yan may not like Zhu Qianying that much right now. But for Young Master Yan at this moment, apart from Old Madam Yan, Zhu Qianying is probably the only woman who is special to him.
All the women who appeared before Young Master Yan in the past were like sunflowers, but only Zhu Qianying was the rose that made Young Master Yan's eyes light up.
In other words, only Zhu Qianying has the ability to attract Yan Shao's attention.
Although this attraction is not very strong yet, in Yan Shao's mind, Zhu Qianying has already been included in his territory.
That's why he launched a relentless and merciless attack on Takenoshima tonight.
Meanwhile, Zhu Zhizhou, who was under bombardment, could only console himself. It's better to guide than to suppress. Since Yan Shao harbors resentment towards him, let him vent it, and everything will be easier.
With such a self-aware masochistic attitude from Zhu Zhizhou, Yan Shao felt increasingly satisfied as he continued to pound into him, and he even took back all the anger he had suffered at Zhu Qianying's hands last night from Zhu Zhizhou, who was now his father.
At 11 o'clock, Su Lang called over a waiter to settle the bill, and together with his assistant, subordinates, and Zhu Zhizhou, a total of five people, they respectfully escorted Yan Shao to his car.
Once inside the car, Yan Shao felt incredibly relaxed and refreshed.
Qin Xiu drove the car away from the teahouse parking lot. "Sir, where to?"
Tonight is the first night of Tongyao's counterattack against Leyun. Although he has already heard from the reports of various managers that the response has been extremely enthusiastic and the results have been very good, based on Qin Xiu's understanding of Yan Shao, he will definitely go to the scene in person to see for himself.
Sure enough, in a good mood, Yan Shao said without thinking, "Let's go to Di'an West Road."
At this hour, there weren't many vehicles on the road. What would normally be a journey of more than an hour was completed in less than an hour by Qin Xiu, who parked his car in front of the Tongyao KTV on Di'an West Road.
Judging from the packed parking lot outside the gate, it's easy to imagine how popular the business inside is.
"Sir, your counterattack was absolutely brilliant!"
Qin Xiu had always admired Yan Shao's business acumen immensely.
Otherwise, how could he have followed Young Master Yan so devotedly for so many years?
Young Master Yan snorted coldly, "I originally spared his life, letting him keep some money for his belongings to move back to his lair. Who knew that this Zhou fellow would refuse a toast and insist on taking the plunge, refusing to ride in the car. Despicable!"
As the two were talking, they walked from the parking lot into the KTV lobby.
Sure enough, upon entering, one is greeted by a sea of people swaying to the powerful rhythm, the deafening music that gets everyone hyped up, and colorful lights reflecting off the faces of the young people having a blast in the lobby. On stage, the band is playing energetic music, and people are swaying their bodies along with the hyped-up guests.
"Sir, are you satisfied?"
Looking at the scene before him, Qin Xiu didn't even need to ask the manager for the data; just by looking at the scene, he knew how brilliantly this battle had been won.
Yan Shao nodded slightly and was about to lift his foot when the manager, who had gotten wind of the situation, flashed in front of him.
"Wow, today was amazing!"
Yan Shao snorted, indicating that he didn't want to answer the same question a second time.
Of course, like Qin Xiu, the manager had been working under Young Master Yan for so many years that he had long since developed the ability to understand Young Master Yan's meaning from just a glance or a cold snort.
"Sir, I'm in a good mood tonight. Want to try your luck with a couple of games?"
The manager had been busy since around 8 a.m. and hadn't even had a chance to drink water. Now that Young Master Yan had arrived, he wanted to take the opportunity to catch his breath.
Yan Shao was in a good mood, but he only wanted to have a couple of drinks; he wasn't really interested in gambling.
Of course, that doesn't mean he doesn't gamble.
On the contrary, he gambles, but he only has the interest in gambling against people of similar ability.
In his eyes, neither Qin Xiu nor the junior manager were even qualified to deal cards to him, let alone sit at the gambling table with him.
Seeing that Yan Shao remained silent, Qin Xiu assumed he had lost interest. "People of our caliber aren't even qualified to carry my shoes."
He has always been self-aware; his gambling skills are nothing compared to Yan Shao's.
Yan Shao remained silent and strode towards the stairs, presumably heading to his usual VIP room.
The manager was pulled aside by a foreman to ask for some instructions. After the instructions were finished, the manager watched Yan Shao's figure disappear into the second-floor corridor and then remembered something. He jogged up the stairs and chased after Yan Shao's figure.
When he caught up with Young Master Yan, panting, he only had time to call out, "Master..."
Qin Xiu had already received Yan Shao's order. He put his hand on the doorknob, turned it, and opened the door. The sound of a man and woman singing a duet came out from inside.
Hold hands and walk with me
Creating a happy life
You didn't have time yesterday
It will be a pity tomorrow
Will you marry me today?
...
Judging from the rhythm and melody alone, Qin Xiu felt that the two sang with perfect harmony. He thought to himself, they must be a couple, otherwise, it would be impossible for them to sing such sweet and affectionate songs.
